Abstract: 20,398. Grant, J. C. Sept. 6. Trimming type ; moulds.-Type-casting moulds of the kind described in Specification 20,953/00, are constructed to produce " self-dressed " types v, such as are shown in Figs. 10, 11, and 12, the tangs o being so placed that, when broken off the types v, the rupture takes place towards one side of the type, and within the body of the type. The mould shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 5 for producing the type shown in Fig. 10 is formed from blocks a, b, c, d, spaced apart to receive an adjustable slide f, which determines the set width of the type, and is of the body shape and size of the type with its tang. The mould is closed by the matrix m and a slide l, a shielded plate e being provided to receive the nipple. When the cast has been made, the slide l is withdrawn, and the slide f is raised to carry the type and its tang to the top of the block c, the slide l is then advanced, and the tang o is broken off against a lug p. The slide f is reduced in thickness at the top, and plates q, r are secured to the reduced part so as to produce a slide of the shape of the mould cavity ; or the slide may be reduced on one side to receive a plate, and the other side of the mould may be stepped. The block c may be provided with ridges to produce nicks g in the type, the slide f being grooved to fit the ridges. The type shown in Fig. 11 is produced in a mould wherein the blocks b, d are replaced by a single block formed with a ridge which produces a groove y between the type and the tang, the slide f being formed with a groove which fits the ridge in the block. The type shown in Fig. 12 is produced by a mould such as that used for producing the type shown in Fig. 11, but not having the ridge in the single block. The blocks may be water-cooled.

Abstract: 3135. Lane, H. J. Feb. 9. C a m gears; rotary and oscillating valves; slide valves; arrangement and disposition of valves.- Relates to a releasing - gear for steam - engines in which separate admission and exhaust valves 10, 15, respectively, at each end of the cylinder and the corresponding valve seats 7, 13, have bell-mouthed perforations, arranged with the smaller ends opposed. In the Figures, flat slide valves are shown, but it is stated that this form of port may be applied to Corliss or other oscillating or rotating valves. Fig. 3 shows one form of operating-gear in which cams 27, 33, controlling the exhaust and admission respectively, are mounted on a sleeve 24 which is rotated, from a lay shaft 19, about a timing- shaft 23. The shaft 23 rotates under the control of the governor, and carries cams 34 which determine the cut-off. Preferably, the sleeve 24 rotates at half the speed of the crank-shaft, so that the cut-off is effected without reversing the motion of the valves. The steam cams 33, 34 actuate slides 36 directly connected to the valve - rods, the exhaust cams 27 bearing against cross-heads 31 on rocking-levers 28 connected to the exhaust valve-rods. Fig. 9 shows a modified gear, the timing - shaft 23 being replaced by a shaft 42, the reciprocations of which, under the influence of the governor, are transmitted to the steam cams 41 so as to vary the duration of opening of the admission valves.
